Correct Answer: 702
Solution : Cost of first variety = INR 504 The cost of the second variety = INR 540 The ratio in which rice varieties are mixed = 1 : 1 : 2 Let INR $x$ be the cost of the third variety. Cost of mixed variety = INR 612 According to the question, $\frac{504×1 + 540×1 + x×2}{1 + 1+ 2} = 612$ $⇒\frac{1044 + 2x}{4}= 612$ $⇒x=\frac{612×4 - 1044}{2}= 702$ Hence, the correct answer is 702.
